That fire in shots 4 & 5 made me think why can't they make fire that looks better? Whats your (or anyone reading) favourite fire effect in a game? I personally loved the Unreal 2 flamethrower, but looking at pics of the particles makes me think there must be better around now.

Bobby Fizz: Yeah it doesn't look great in still shots but it's pretty good in motion. Far Cry 2 & 3 have some of the best fore effects I've seen. In 3, when you have to set fire to all the weed plants, the massive fire that spread was jaw dropping.

Rsherhod: Sorry squire :(

Thought I saw in another thread that you just got a new PC recently that was capable of maxing out Crysis. I would have thought Modded Skyrim would be about as demanding as Crysis maxed out ....or maybe I'm just being retarded.

Looks great! I invariably get bored of flight games, but the genre sure has come a long way since I was last seriously involved in F-22 Lightning III.

Indeed, Skyrim is a compulsive screenshotters worst nightmare. Its free camera is excellent! Anyway, I know you have a different taste than I do as far as contrast and saturation is concerned, but those are fine shots. I find the night-scene at the tavern in Windhelm to be especially interesting; the small fire on the lower left balances it out nicely.

I haven't played a flight sim in years. Those screenshots are tempting me to go back. Really don't feel like installing all the FS2004 add-ons that make it great though. Perhaps something like IL-2 1946.

Much obliged squire :)

I am really regretting taking those shots now as it's got me straight back into the habit. Took 100 screens yesterday and, unlike most games where I take hundreds of screens and only like a few, I like all of them! The ENB config I'm using definitely has it's issues with brightness/contrast in some areas but generally speaking, especially with regards to indoor locations, it looks fantastic.

On a separate note, those iracing shots are really nice. Never even heard of it before which is odd for me.

I know what you mean Seph. In Skyrim I just want to keep hitting that screenshot key.

I have mixed feelings about iRacing. It's a monthly subscription service and on top of that you need to pay for more cars/tracks. It ends up being quite expensive. Also their license class system means that when your new you can't drive the faster cars. There is no offline component and no AI cars. The competitive racing however is some of the most entertaining and tense moments i've experienced. When you get out of rookie class a lot of the crashes like in that 3rd shot i posted seize to exist which makes the racing 10x more enjoyable.

You lost me at monthly subscription ;) It does sound quite interesting though. I'm more into the SP of racing games than MP ....although, that's mostly because I'm about as good at racing games as squirrels are at ventriloquy.
